Lack of Female Representation

But the problem is that the experts invited will mirror the inclinations of the party connected and the special interests therein. I dont think the results would change. 

Depends on the panel and the experts who participate, which is why you'd need as broad a consensus as possible, staying within sane constraints.

My wife has a different ear than I do, I have a different sense of rhythm than she does, she has a different affinity for lyrics, I have a different understanding of context. There are things we value in each other's taste and knowledge. None of this is because I am a man or she is a woman, but because we are different people with different upbringings, experiences and personalities. I watched my engineer father berate my musician mother my whole life, and I don't raise my son to speak to or of anyone that way. I would love to say humans are well beyond the need to generalize and assign each other stereotypes based on gender or race, but when reading through this thread and a few others, I see there probably wont be much advancement until those mentalities who refuse to evolve simply expire.

Please don't encourage them into the hobby. My time listening to music is first the thorough enjoyment of the music and the very close second is not having to be in the room with my wife. My wife could not tell the difference between am radio and my reference system. Same way she cant tell the difference between 4k, 1080p, or analog tube tv. Some have and some will tell me she can but she doesn't care. I will challenge you on that maybe, as soon as i find something she does care about other than bitching every second.

Healthy
